Creating a new ticket should be straightforward. But in practice, categorization often slows things down. Large category trees, similar subcategories, and small differences that are easy to miss, especially when things get busy. One wrong choice, and a ticket ends up bouncing between teams before it reaches the right place. 

That’s exactly where AI Categorization helps. 

When a new ticket is created, TOPdesk AI analyzes the text and suggests the most relevant category, subcategory, and priority based entirely on your organization’s historical data. No guessing, no scrolling through long lists. You simply review the suggestion and decide: accept it as is, or make an adjustment if needed. 

The result? Tickets are routed more consistently and reach the right team faster, right from the start. 

 

Staying in control, without the extra work 

AI Categorization is designed to support your way of working  not replace it. The AI does the heavy lifting in the background, while you stay in charge of the final decision. 

This makes it easier to work quickly and confidently, even during busy moments. Less admin, fewer routing mistakes, and a smoother flow from intake to resolution. 

 

 

Why this helps your team 

  • No more scrolling through long category trees 

  • More consistent routing, so tickets hit the right desk the first time 

  • Faster handling, which means quicker resolutions 

  • You stay in charge AI suggests, you decide 

And the best part? You don’t need a major setup or new tools. It’s built right into TOPdesk, designed to help from day one.
